I have two young children (soon to be three), so I’m currently having a break from teaching while I stay at home with them. I’ve home educated my eldest for the last year, which has been both a delightful privilege and an exhausting challenge. It’s also been a good chance to put play under the microscope!
I love spending time outdoors with my children, which I largely attribute to growing up in Hastings and spending much of my free time between the garden or on dogs walks in the Country Park. It’s also where I developed my love for the sea – you can’t beat a good sea breeze for clearing the head! I think the outdoors is an incredible natural play space with boundless learning opportunities.
When I’m not busy playing, I love to make things (though my ambition frequently outweighs my skill level), watch a good film with a glass of wine, and dream about moving to the French countryside.
